Hot on the heels of prominent Apple iOS hacker Planetbeing’s announcement that evad3rs -- the team that developed the evasi0n untethered jailbreak for iOS 6 -- is currently looking for potential exploits inside the iOS 7 for a future jailbreak, another renowned iOS hacker kept the hope alive by indicating that a public release of an iOS 7 jailbreak could be possible.
After confirming on Twitter that “evad3rs have now started to actively look at iOS 7,” Planetbeing took to his microblogging account again on Wednesday to announce that his team of iOS hackers had achieved unsigned userland code execution with some of the exploits inside the iOS platform, which they already had in reserve.
Although this tidbit offers only a little information about the state of the iOS 7 jailbreak, Pod2g’s latest remark on the matter does provide a ray of hope for many within the jailbreak community. Pod2g tweeted on Friday, “@pimskeks being more and more confident about an iOS 7 public jailbreak ;-) [ that does not mean soon ].”
It is worth noting here that the jailbreak developer did not make any promise about the timing of an iOS 7 jailbreak, suggesting that a public release would take some time.
